One possibility you might consider is swapping to a Toyota pickup frame. We did some measuring & they look to line up very easily. Then, you already have the basis of a solid-axle truck, and V8 motor mounts are a cheap, bolt-in affair. It's likely that your inner fenderwells will have to go as there's not much space under the LUV hood.
